King Klair Hero 0.6
First and Foremost this build was ported by Mssmison and the ril(radio interface layer), and audio libraries were written by Vilord!!! im pretty sure the gps library was written by Srwalter. vilord may have helped port it to eclair. (will get back to you on that). without DZO we would still be using windows mobile "" but were not ""

UPDATE 17 Dec:
Download the new rootfs below for working WiFi! Thanks enatefox!
Download:
system.sqsh [ver 0.6.01]
Eclair-ready__rootfs.img (rename to rootfs.img, of course)
eclairhero.user.conf (goes on your SD card in /android/conf)
OR if you have a swap partition on your SD card: eclairhero-swap_partition.user.conf (goes on your SD card as /android/conf/eclairhero.user.conf)
And if you don't have them already:
zImage-15-12-09 (the latest kernel from 15 Dec)
startup.txt (My personal HaRET startup.txt)
rootfs changelog:
Copied /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.kaiser.rc
Copied /init.cfg/init.eclair.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclair.kaiser.rc
Altered init to check that media folder exists in /sdcard/android/media instead of /sdcard/media
Altered init to support eclair.user.conf and eclairhero.user.conf
TIPS:
You will need a fresh data partition/data.img for this build. Don't forget to back up your old one first!
Go straight to version 0.6.01 as posted above, version 0.6 gives me weird SIM errors.
This build takes FOREVER (5-10min) to boot. It goes through and even attempts to make a number of thumbnails for your images during first boot. I suggest watching it over adb so you'll know when it's settled and ready for input.
The HTC widgets are not working with this build.
TaskKiller is an absolute must, like other Hero builds this one loves to keep apps open.
Hmm, this build has successfully rebooted itself twice, during heavy use. I wish I knew how that worked, so we could get it to reboot on command!
Wifi not working D:
Also if I put 15-02-19, Haret asks for 11-12-09 (where can I find the latest haret?)
Why does it happen?
Almost downloaded Hero, just got vanilla Eclair to boot the first time. I'll look into wifi. Maybe it's me but Eclair seems faster than Donut but I haven't messed with it much. That should make Hero much nicer.. will post back when I get further

The startup.txt needs to be updated for the new zImage, or you can download my updated one from the first post.
@enatefox:
O
Hero is very buggy, has too many problems to run daily for now. Overall Eclair Mike the fastest yet though! And the fonts are much better for qvga. Text autocomplete has issues.

Nah, don't worry, it was something really really stupid.
In the same file you said, it was like "zImage 11-12-09" so now I saved it saying just "zImage". Now works fine.
Waiting for wifi updates, great work guys!
BTW, is there any way to take screenshots?
damn bootloop. I'll look at this tomorrow but that's a promise . I don't know where these wifi files came from. I dropped in the ones that I've used and we'll see. Right now I'm fixing telnet and some other issues to post back with but it will take a little bit of time. We're going to get this working for daily use.
Here's working wifi for Eclair:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ezyzekjozj3
EDIT, I didn't get Hero to boot for me (looping) but I forgot to update Eclair Hero's conf file to match conf.eclair.kaiser.rc.. can someone either do that and repost or wait for me to finish some perm issues with it and I will upload one for Hero. Sorry about that.
I have got to be doing something wrong. I am using all of the files from the 1st post and the rootfs.img from enatefox's last post and this sat for 30 minutes. I even copied the user file to the sd card, to the /sdcard/CONF folder and into the /sdcard/Android/CONF folder and still it sits. I'll get a post of the last few lines up later to see if I just need to wait more or not. I am also using an empy 2GB Fat32 SD Card with the 1.71 radio. All other builds work but this one???
Any ideas?
I could mirror my files. They're working perfect, even wifi and etc (bluetooth not yet).
Folder Screenshot:
http://i46.tinypic.com/oqbo2c.jpg
Then you delete data.img to start from the beginning.
that could solve your issues

If u don't mind, that would be great. I also just noticed that even after a 1/2 hr, a data.img file never was created
edit: wait, your system file in that picture is only 44.325 MB; the latest system file from post 1 is 89.3? Why so different?

What do you mean, clean data.img, do I need a clean one already on the SDCard for 1st run, so none present?
FYI, your 'conf' and 'android' folders should be named in lowercase, if they aren't already.
The only way we can tell what is wrong is to see whatever the console says before it freezes, or ADB logs if you can make it that far. Post whatever you've got.

If it wasn't created then... you wouldn't need to delete it, do you?
ROM Size: That's because I use mixed files from the different Eclair thread's.
It's a "package" of what worked fine on my device.
Most of the files are from this thread, but the system.sqsh is from this one:

You need to have one of two things:
If you are using the partitioned SD method, you need a fresh ext2 partition (newly created with a partition manager, or wiped using the Android install script)
If you are using the data.img file method, just make sure there's no data.img on your SD so the installer can create one during boot.

I competly forgot about needing all lowercase letters; as for the data.img file, that is what I though; Thank you
[EDIT]
That is so wierd; I had to place the system.img into the /sdcard/android folder and the use user file in these 3 places /sdcard /sdcard/android and /sdcard/android/conf
Now it works. Don't know what changed, but it works

I can almost guarantee you that the .conf file in your SD root and the .conf file in /android/ are ignored, try deleting them and just leave the .conf in the /conf/ directory. And yes, everything including the system.img/system.sqsh should go in the /android/ folder now.
I bet you can boot this Hero build, but it has a lot of bugs, you'll probably be happier with plain Eclair that rugalck linked.

So I'm new to the whole concept of running the Android OS on my Tilt. I've been searching/reading/attempting this for a few days now and have had no luck. I followed a few threads to a T (or so I thought) and nothing.
Here's what HTC info:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2
Radio: 1.65.21.18
Files I currently have on my SD card:
4shared_desktop_3.2.1
KAISimg.nbh
androidinstall (TAR file) (Myn's Warm Donut RLS5)
I watched a few youtube videos following this setup and when the click the 4shared_desktop exe, it loads... mine says it's not compatible with the pocket pc.
I'm thinking of just clearing my SD card and starting from scratch again, perhaps with an easier setup someone already has(?)
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

you will need to keep reading. the nbh files is the nand flash file just like wimo. you need haret to run from SD.
if you have really spent days reading i would not suggest flashing your nand
Need better instructions? Try reading j101399j's awesome polymod Eclair install guide with images!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5602064&postcount=1195
tried the guide, but constantly on the HaRET boot of linux my phone just freezes. I'm not sure why exactly.
there is a 2 download links in 4shared page...and you are downloaded 4shared download manager...
when that page appears , look carefully , there is another download button

HaRET also froze often for me. If you like android its worth flashing the NAND if you know how to.
what version of the zimage do you have.

great eclair build to try, donut has been reported to be a little less stable if you can stand not having a camera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688880
This is early, hacky, and built from the work of the guys on the Vibrant forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739647
anomalous3 figured out that "there was only one thing running as root that could safely be replaced; the boot logo player. So, all this does is replace the boot logo player with a script that calls userinit.sh from /data/local and then calls the (now renamed) bootlogo player for those of you who want that nifty startup screen"
What this does is allows the phone to mount an ext3 partition on boot so we can have a lag fix on JP3. I'm getting 1610 on quadrant and it's pretty stable. Please someone improve this!! shaunm89 and I just hacked this together from other's work.
Directions:
1.) Create an EXT3 partition on your external SD card of 2gb. It should be the second partition after the fat32 partition
2.) Flash Modaco's pre-rooted JP3 through Odin: http://android.modaco.com/content/s...insecure-boot-clockworkmod-recovery-for-odin/
3.) Boot the phone up. Open market and install Root Explorer (costs $) and Busybox. Update busybox
4.) Download these files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ONGUDAIJ
Copy them across to the SD card. Move playlogos1 and playlogosnow to /system/bin. Move userinit.sh to /data/local. Use root explorer to set permissions read (all 3) write (user only) execute (all 3). 0755 for those who know linux. You can use adb to push if you wanna get fancy.
5.) Reboot. Use root explorer to see if /sd-ext exists, and if so, whether /sd-ext/data and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache exist. If so it worked! If not, reboot again and then check.
That's it. Maybe someone can package this into an update.zip, maybe someone can take it and make it more stable and even faster (ext4 for example)
great! hope we could find an easier way
Sent from my GT-I9000
Is it a must to get the pre-rooted version of firmware? However using the original SP3 then root by myself?
On the other hand, I think I will modify your init.rc as I would rather to do all the moving by myself
Great job, hope we can get EXT4 soon.
In step 4, " Move userinit.sh to /local/data" should be data/local. Quadrant benchmark 1700.
seems like the script is calling busybox, but is it necessary to use root explorer. Could one substitute root explorer with adb?
I assume root explorer is just to do things adb can do, but locally on the device instead of attached via USB.
I tried this and it and i can see sd-ext and the subfolders but is this all we need to do?
is /data/data linked to the sdcard?
I am asking because i tried to reboot the phone without the sdcard in it and i can still see all my apps and everything is working fine.
Thoughts?
Also there is an error in section 4 of your instructions. there is no /local/data, it is /data/local.
Also playlogos1 and playlogosnow files needs to be renamed with a capital P for this to work.
No need to install root explorer if you can use adb to push the files. I just wasn't sure how to use adb to push to those directories.
I fixed the other mistake, thanks
This is not ideal but gets the job done. I'm hoping you guys can make it better!
Are you able to download anything from the market after doing this?
My market is just stuck on "starting download" and that's it.

Strange.
I'll flash again and try again.
Yea i don't know.
The market will download some and won't others.
Also my Quadrant test is getting stuck at 3/4 stage of the I/O test so it might be my SDCard which sucks.
I used a 16GB SanDik class 4 card.

sandisk are one of the best cards you can get, kingston are known to get stuck at this stage, are you sure you don't have a fake sandisk card?
anyway if you leave it running after about 10 minutes quadrant will finish and still give you a massive score of over 1500.. just shows how reliable the quadrant scores are .
does it mean that quadrant is good but speed isnt?
Tried this fix on my JP3 but no luck. I don't get these folders.
Maybe it must be MoDaCo?
If I manually execute the script I get these folders, but after reboot they are gone.
Pretty new to this maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Also happened to me initially. /sd-ext won't show up or if it does, it doesn't contain the correct folders though it is listed when you run 'mount'. Laggy with Quadrant result at 975.
So, went back and reformatted SD w/Fat32 then EXT3, cleared cache/data, re-flashed Modaco's JP3, installed the latest Busybox, copied files per OP and I finally got it working after a couple of re-boots (3, i think). It is running smooth so far w/quadrant 1622. GPS seems to be getting locks on SATs quickly but you still can't get to LBSTest via the keypad. Still can't write to the external sd when mounted/shared to PC.
Also tried JAC's work (see this thread: [KERNEL/RECOVERY] Vibrant EXT2/3/4 with init.d support) since it has the nifty feature allowing user to put startup scripts on boot up. I flashed his kernel but i got stuck on the 'Vibrant' boot screen. anyways, will give it another try later.

First, please post questions/problems with sov's utility in the proper thread.
Second, this may not be a problem with sov's tool, you haven't explained yourself very clearly.
If I were going to hazard a guess, do a full format of your card with the HP tool and try again. May want to start with a clean build as well, but feel free to back everything up and copy it back to see if that alone fixes it.

Thanks for the reply arrrghhh, but I didnt state the problem was with Sov's updater, just that i used it, now my SD card went missing....I have used his tool in the past with no issues at all, that's why im posting here instead of there.....to see if anyone else has the same problem, giving that i went to his post, and didnt see anything like my problem.
that said, sorry about the lack of info: rhod400, using FROYO 2.0, 700mz oc, booting from the SD card. When haret boots, I see a series of commands that say "omit folder: Android Apps,Android media,android program files".When i go to the market to DL an app thats on the SD card already, it shows a progress bar saying my item is downloading, even tho its not on my program files list. I navigate to the show phone and SD card storage menu, and SD is blank. Never seen this before after an update. Was running the Nov. 11th prior to this, everythig working great. Any help would be awesome, as I really dont want to reformat and start over
thanks guys for helping a Noob, this is truly an awesome community where everyone just want to help, with nothing asked in return. again, thank you
Did you even try what I suggested?
hey guys, im sure this is getting old for some..but yes im a newbie, 8925 user. ive read the android install on htc by l1q1d, which i thought brought me in the correct position.. (not to say it wasnt a good guide, im sure it is..im a noob) i was wrong heres what im using and trying to accomplish, i sarted out reading "How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)" the first thread, i used jump spl 1.93 , flashed hard spl 3.56, flashed radio 1.71.09.01, then i used the htc on droid guide on atools to configure my kernal (which i loaded while in atools, i tried both 2.6.52 and 2.6.32-which is the current one im using )saved the KAISIMG.NBH in the root of my sd card(2GB HP i think its class 4) then set up my androidinstall.tgz(Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages) in the atools mixer with the unique module update in atools V1.0.4 and extracted them together. saved the androidinstall.tgz in the /storagecard/andboot. then used BSE boot script editor, to setup my install-seq.sh which i also saved to the /andboot folder.
Heres my current specs again in line:
jump spl 1.93
hardspl 3.56
radio 1.71.09.01
kernal 2.6.32
Build Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages with atools module update extracted together
when installing , the farthest point i reached was a succesful install of kernal, then reboot, install-seq.sh started---end result "could not determine file system size", failed, failed to format.
im currently trying to use nand for system and sd card for data , not sure what SWAP means?...
as for the seetings for fstab on atools ( which was the most confusing for me), i p
SYSTEM- NAND p2
DATA- sd partition p2
SWAP- sd partition p3
ive also tried system as nand p2, and data as nand p3 and swap at auto, cause i figured im having issues with my sd card , but then it said something about "install update module for kernal". im stumped any information you can helkp with would be greatly appreciated, here a few links to pics of the settings i made in atools, thanks alot
Hmmm, I have just tried that myself and I think it might be a bug in atools - I was changing nand partition sizes and the only combination I could get to work was Atools 1.0.4 with all fstab setting set to auto (I haven't tried Atools 1.0.5 yet, but 1.1.0 didn't work for any combination of settings for me)
Also I've never used the install-seq.sh so I can't help with that.
As a "good" starting point try using Atools 1.0.4 , latest kernel, don't change system/data partition sizes and leave all fstab settings on auto.
Flash that nbh then install through the boot menu (hold D-pad centre on boot)
If that works, then it will be easier to work from there to find out what exactly was causing the problem
huh, yup im learning as i go lol , i have tried to boot without using the install-seq file but have not tried to install with fstab on auto. what does that mean though, if its placed on auto is it going to just pick whatever i feel like at the moment , im assuming system will be on nand , but what about data. and also ive tried looking it up but what does SWAP mean? thanks alot im gonna try what u said
EDIT: ok i tried that out i got into the manual install by pressing the dpad center button, then i picked system and data to be installed on nand , then installed, then quit, then it, loaded for a while then it went to a droid screen and a animated green ball that seemed to be loading but just stayed there and did nothing. so i turned off the phone.... could it be because i didnt press 4. install update(do i even need to)? OR should i have installed system on nand then data on sd partition?
try again, and leave it a bit longer, the first boot of an un-odexed build can take aver long time, maybe about 10 minutes
swap is extra space for RAM, but on the NAND memory or SD card - like a swap partition on linux or a pagefile on windows. By default there is no swap partition used.
option 4: "install update" extracts the contents of an androidupdate.tar or .tgz file in the andboot folder, if you haven't got an androidupdate file you're trying to use then you don't need to use this option
allright ill try it now thanks man
i tried it again, but this time i used thoughtlesskyles not so super froyo rls18 and i waited , and it finally came up its installed ive checked a few things, calling works, wifi ,navigation maps some cool stuff. im gonna use this for a while then try my luck on some other endeavors. thanks again
